Description
from aws/aws-toolkit-jetbrains/issues/2610
## Problem
> My profile has access only to certain bucket in my organization, so with that limited access I am unable to use the AWS Explorer for S3.
> It would be great to allow manually adding the limited resources I have access to so I can explore them in the UI. Otherwise I'm back to CLI
## Proposal
Add a `View Bucket` action to the S3 node itself allowing inserting of a bucket or S3 URI
Contributor guide
Research direction
Start at the S3 node in AWS Explorer and trace how bucket contents are currently discovered. Review the proposed View Bucket flow for a bucket name or S3 URI, then verify it with credentials lacking ListBuckets permission. Done means an authorized limited-access user can open the specified bucket without requiring ListBuckets.
